Read the following passage about the urban shift and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] Landslides are a significant environmental challenge in the northern mountainous provinces of Vietnam, partiCularly during the rainy season. The region, characterized by steep slopes and heavy rainfall, is prone to this natural disaster, which poses serious threats to both the local population and infrastructure. [II] ln recent years, numerous landslides have occurred, often triggered by prolonged periods of heavy rain, resulting in devastating impacts on communities and livelihoods.
The mountainous terrain, combined with deforestation and improper land use, exacerbates the risk of landslides. [III] As farmers clear forests for agriculture, the natural vegetation that stabilizes the soil is lost, making slopes more susceptible to erosion. When heavy rains saturate the soil, it can quickly become unstable, leading to sudden and destructive landslides. [IV]
In response to this growing threat, local authorities and environmental organizations are taking proactive measures to mitigate the risks associated with landslides. Efforts include reforestation projects, improving drainage systems, and raising public awareness about safe practices du ring the rainy season. Additionally, advanced monitoring systems are being implemented to provide early warnings, allowing communities to evacuate before a disaster strikes.
Despite these efforts, the challenges remain significant, and ongoing education and support for sustainable land management practices are crucial for reducing the incidence and impact of landslides in northern Vietnam.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
In the distance, an enormous, menacing-looking tornado can be seen. Luckily, the area has been evacuated and there is no one to be seen. Then, out of the blue, a few kilometres away a van appears and races down the road straight towards the tornado. Both in their twenties, Joe Hammond and his wife Emma are heading for it. Their purpose is to monitor various characteristics of a tornado, such as its speed, direction, and temperature. The storm chasers are planning to plant themselves directly in the path of the tornado to amass as much information as they can.
Joe and Emma are dedicated storm chasers. They began to chase storms as university students, and in recent years they have been travelling vast distances around the USA in their efforts to locate tornadoes. Bizarre as it may sound, they are not the only people to do it. During the tornado season, hundreds of people cross Tornado Alley, an area between South Dakota and Texas. Their vehicles are almost unrecognisable, as they are concealed underneath an assortment of electronic equipment and contain all manner of communication devices.
When asked why people are so fascinated by tornadoes, Joe said some tornado chasers relish the challenge, while others might just love the exhilaration of being in a treacherous situation. Some experienced chasers have even turned their hobby into a business and set up travel agencies offering tourists trips which guarantee a ringside view of the twisters. It seems, however, that people like Joe and Emma also make a pivotal contribution to the study of tornadoes.
The fact is, although there are about a thousand tornadoes in the USA each year, meteorologists still do not fully comprehend why they happen. This is partly because the research done by radars in laboratories is not as efficacious as mobile equipment deployed directly at the scene. Thus, some research meteorologists even go storm chasing themselves. It seems that the thrill, combined with a desire to understand nature, is the reason why people like Joe and Emma chase tornadoes.

Read the following passage about climate change and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
Climate change refers to the long-term alteration of temperature and typical weather patterns in a place. This phenomenon is largely driven by human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas, which increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. They trap heat from the sun, leading to global warming and causing severe weather events, such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts, to become more frequent and intense. Climate change impacts nearly every region of the world and affects the natural environment, economies, and human health.
As temperatures rise, polar ice caps and glaciers are melting at alarming rates, contributing to rising sea levels. Coastal regions face an increased risk of flooding, and many low-lying islands are at risk of disappearing entirely. Additionally, higher temperatures lead to the warming of oceans, affecting marine ecosystems and causing coral bleaching, which threatens biodiversity and the livelihoods of millions of people who depend on fishing.
[I] The consequences of climate change are not just environmental; they also affect human society in significant ways. [II] Changes in weather patterns disrupt agriculture, leading to crop failures and food shortages in vulnerable regions. [III] Furthermore, climate change is linked to health issues such as respiratory diseases, heat strokes, and the spread of diseases carried by insects, like malaria and dengue fever. [IV]
To combat climate change, a coordinated global effort is necessary. Governments, organizations, and individuals all have roles to play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable practices. Shifting to renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, and hydropower, is essential. Additionally, conserving forests and investing in technology that captures carbon dioxide from the atmosphere can help mitigate the effects of climate change and pave the way for a healthier planet.
The phrase "pave the way for" in paragraph 4 could best be replaced by ________.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 33 to 40.
Air pollution is a significant environmental issue that affects millions of people worldwide. It results from various sources, including industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, and the burning of fossil fuels. [I] Among the most harmful pollutants are fine particulate matter (PM2.5), carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. These pollutants not only degrade air quality but also have serious health consequences, such as respiratory diseases, cardiovascular problems, and even premature death. [II]
In major cities, traffic congestion plays a critical role in worsening air pollution. The high concentration of vehicles, particularly those running on diesel fuel, releases large amounts of pollutants into the atmosphere. [III] Additionally, industrial activities in urban areas contribute to the problem by emitting harmful gases and chemicals. [IV]
Governments and environmental organizations have been implementing various measures to combat air pollution. These include promoting the use of renewable energy, encouraging public transportation, and imposing stricter emission regulations on industries. Moreover, advancements in technology have led to the development of electric vehicles and air purification systems, which help reduce pollution levels. However, despite these efforts, achieving clean air remains a global challenge that requires cooperation from all sectors of society.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
(1) Năm 1858, thực dân Pháp tiến hành cuộc chiến tranh xâm lược nước ta. Sau gần nửa thế kỷ bình định về quân sự, đến khoảng đầu thế kỷ XX, chúng mới thực sự khai thác thuộc địa về kinh tế. Sau hai cuộc khai thác thuộc địa (lần thứ nhất từ năm 1897 đến năm 1914, lần thứ 2 từ năm 1919 đến năm 1929), cơ cấu xã hội Việt Nam có những biến đổi sâu sắc. Một số thành phố công nghiệp ra đời, đô thị, thị trấn mọc lên ở nhiều nơi. Những giai cấp, tầng lớp xã hội mới: tư sản, tiểu tư sản (viên chức, học sinh, những người buôn bán hay sản xuất nhỏ,…), công nhân, dân nghèo thành thị,...xuất hiện ngày càng đông đảo. Một lớp công chúng có đời sống tinh thần và thị hiếu mới đã hình thành đòi hỏi một thứ văn chương mới.
(2) Từ đầu thế kỷ XX, văn hóa Việt Nam dần dần thoát khỏi ảnh hưởng của văn hóa phong kiến Trung Hoa, bắt đầu mở rộng tiếp xúc với văn hóa phương Tây mà chủ yếu là văn hóa Pháp. Luồng văn hóa mới thông qua tầng lớp trí thức Tây học (phần lớn là tiểu tư sản) ngày càng thấm sâu vào ý thức và tâm hồn người cầm bút cũng như người đọc sách.
(3) Đến đầu thế kỷ XX, chữ quốc ngữ đã thay thế chữ Hán, chữ Nôm trong nhiều lĩnh vực, từ hành chính công vụ tới văn chương nghệ thuật. Chữ quốc ngữ được phổ biến rộng rãi đã tạo điều kiện thuận lợi cho công chúng tiếp xúc với sách báo. Nhu cầu văn hóa của lớp công chúng mới đã làm nảy sinh những hoạt động kinh doanh văn hóa, làm cho nghề in, nghề xuất bản,, nghề làm báo theo kỹ thuật hiện đại phát triển khá mạnh. Viết văn cũng trở thành một nghề kiếm sống tuy rất khó khăn, chật vật.
(4) Những nhân tố trên đã tạo điều kiện cho văn học Việt Nam đổi mới theo hướng hiện đại hóa. Hiện đại hóa ở đây được hiểu là quá trình làm cho văn học thoát ra khỏi hệ thống thi pháp văn học trung đại và đổi mới theo hình thức văn học phương Tây, có thể hội nhập với nền văn học hiện đại trên thế giới.
